Top Ten Tools in Child Rearing

A list of what have so far been my top ten tools in child rearing:

10. Juice boxes, fruit snacks & cheese sticks
9. My support group - my family, friends and church
8. Veggie Tales videos & Superman DVDs
7. A cup of tea and my Bible in the morning
6. Local parks for our "adventures" (thank you, foresighted people, for establishing parks)
5. Baby wipes
4. Finally realizing I can ignore most of what I read in child rearing books
3. Patience, although there is never enough of it
2. Finding something to laugh about even when my children are trying their darndest to put me in the funny farm
1. Prayer on my knees and God who cares to listen!
